Objective
The Mineral-fluid Interface Reactivity (MIR) Early Stage Training Network (EST) is comprised of 5 universities located in Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, and the United Kingdom offering structured training for students pursuing a PhD or Masters Degrees. This training program is intended to produce young scientists to fill needs in industry, consulting engineering firms, regulatory agencies, and local government in addition academic positions.
The core objective of the MIR network is the training and professional development of young scientists in the state-of-the-art in the field of mineral-fluid reactivity. Mineral-fluid reactions, including dissolution, adsorption, nucleation, precipitation, and solid-solution formation are key to solving such pressing issues as development of smart coatings on body implants or drug delivery systems, minimizing risk in groundwater extraction, safer pesticide application, optimising CO2 sequestration, assuring drinking water quality, safe storage of radioactive waste products, and minimizing pollutant transport.
The ability to accurately predict reactions in these systems is of utmost importance for municipalities and for industry in Europe today, but it relies on a detailed description of mineral-fluid reactions. Because of the cost of acquiring and maintaining the facilities and the time required to become an expert, only a few of these expertises are available in any single laboratory or any single European country. The MIR network has been created to overcome the limitations by combining forces from University research centres from several countries. This multi-site, international network will provide the cross-disciplinary training that will produce scientists ready to advance the limits of knowledge for true innovative breakthroughs.
